That seems pretty safe if you've asked local authorities...

So now what's in the lease defines when it's a school? Is that in conjunction with accreditation or not? I mean if it revolves around when school is in session (days,hours, weeks) - then that might open up being able to carry on actual ISD grounds for private events when those facilities are leased out, right? I'm kidding of course, but I find the whole thing confusing and frustrating. I don't trust the opinion of a single attorney on it.

This issue exists at our church. I know of a few people who have asked for and received permission to carry at church from the pastor. I know that doesn't really address the whole "school" issue - but it'd make me feel better if I was one of those people.

I would be worried only because of licensing of the school, but I guess it really does depend on who the owner of the property is. I've just never run into a situation like this where a "school" leased space owned by another entity.

A lawyers job is to give you his/her best understanding of the law. I see no exclusion in the law due to hours, although I'd tend to agree with that attorney's interpretation of intent... Just be aware that a legal opinion does not guarantee protection.
